Process for the preparation of organopolysiloxanes containing organyloxy groups

A process for the preparation of a storage stable, condensable, non-gelled organopolysiloxane which contains at least one unit of the formula:

• (R.sup.1 O).sub.3-m R.sub.m SiO.sub.1/2 (I)
• in which
• R is identical or different and is a hydrogen atom or monovalent, optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical,
• R.sup.1 is identical or different and is a monovalent, optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and
• m is 0, 1 or 2,
• said process comprising, in a 1st step, reacting an organosilicon compound (1) which contains at least one Si-bonded hydroxyl group with at least one silane (2) of the formula
• (R.sup.1 O).sub.4-m SiR.sub.m (II)
• and/or a partial hydrolysate thereof, in which R, R.sup.1 and m have the above mentioned meaning, in the presence of 0.1 to 1000 ppm by weight calculated as elemental fluorine and based on the weight of (1) of a fluoride salt (3), and optionally, in a 2nd step, when said reacting has ended, adding a component (4) which can bond fluoride ions wherein said fluoride salt is one having the formula:
• (R.sub.4.sub.2 N)F (III)
• or an adduct of (III) with a carbonyl compound, wherein
• R.sup.2 is identical or different and is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent, optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
